Healthier Broiled Tilapia Parmesan
  1. 1

    Position an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven broiler. Grease a broiler pan or line the pan with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, butter, and lemon juice; season with basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt. Mix thoroughly; set aside. Place the fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan.

  3. 3

    Broil for 4 to 6 minutes, turning the fillets halfway through. Remove the fillets from the oven; spread the Parmesan mixture over the top side. Broil again until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes more.
